#3521 Trauma Informed/Trauma 101
Becoming “trauma-informed” means recognizing that people often have many different types of trauma in their lives. People who have been traumatized need support and understanding from those around them. Often, trauma survivors can be re-traumatized by well-meaning caregivers and community service providers. The Illinois Trauma-Informed Care Approach project seeks to educate our communities about the impact of trauma on clients, co-workers, friends, family, and even ourselves. Understanding the impact of trauma is an important first step in becoming a compassionate and supportive community. This training will provide participants with shared understanding and language of trauma, awareness and prevalence of trauma, and a shift in thinking to become more trauma informed and aware.
